2006-01-11 Firefox 1.5.0.x builds

Firefox 1.5.0.x will be released from this branch, MOZILLA_1_8_0_BRANCH.

2005-12-24 Firefox 1.5.0.x builds

Firefox 1.5.0.x will be released from this branch, MOZILLA_1_8_0_BRANCH. Most of the changes on this branch will address security holes and reliability issues (crashes, hangs, and memory leaks), but major regressions and site-compatibility bugs will be considered too.

If you use Firefox 1.5, please switch to one of these builds if you're affected by one of the bugs below or if you want to help test that the fixes didn't break anything.

Fixes:

  • Fixed: 305970 - [Linux] Certain UI operations (opening dialogs, drag and drop) cause refresh, prolonged hang (with new versions of GTK).
  • Fixed: 311480 - "Firefox could not install this item because of a failure in Chrome Registration. Please contact the author about this problem." (This bug is responsible for the release note: "If Firefox 1.5 is installed on a multi-user system in a location which is not writable by users, Firefox must be run once by a privileged user. If this is not desirable, an empty file must be created in the following directory: <install-directory>/extensions/talkback@mozilla.org/chrome.manifest")
  • Fixed: 316775 - Leak when selecting.
  • Fixed: 317478 - Leaks due to global scope polluter being removed from not enough (?) prototype chains. (Large leak on any page that relies on seeing element IDs in the global scope.)
  • Fixed: 318922 - E4X: invalid syntax to use a memory variable crashes Firefox.
  • Fixed: 319391 - "eval('...') = ..." gives "invalid assignment lefthand side" as a compile-time error instead of as a runtime error (regression).
